Here in NJ the M&P 9mm are no where to be found. They are only available in the compact and the .40. I called just about every store in the state and I was told the production for the USA is on hold. Apparently they are filling up orders for China and Australia police. Now the good news ( for me at least), I had one gun shop who knows all the secrets and he called a S&W warehouse in Kentucky. He got me one with no problem

not only did I get it but I got a great deal on it too. $550 out the door, brand new. That included tax, shipping and our stupid $20 background check. Now if only I can get my hands on a rebate. Right now there are only rebates if you were or are in the military. So bottom line is rebate or not, if you can find one buy it on the spot, these 9's are the most wanted handgun at the moment.
